Also my only case when TK lost my checked baggage was when I had a long connection in IST (but it was at Ataturk).
I would agree with TPJ , 24 hours at the airport could be really boring and as the YOTEL Airside is overpriced compared to city hotels, it would be better to explore Istanbul during your layover, assuming that you wouldn't sleep for your entire layover with sleeping pills.
